Project Sahyog – Shopping for a Cause

Amount Raised – ₹45,603

Target Amount – ₹50,000

Target Deficit – ₹4,397

Did you know that each time you shop on Amazon or Flipkart, you can help sponsor 7,000 meals for underprivileged kids? But how? If you click on this link – http://amzn.to/2dyIbUE (for Amazon) – or this link – http://fkrt.it/aem9HTuuuN (for Flipkart) – and then make a purchase in one single session, it earns us an affiliate commission (see FAQ’s for how much), 100% of which is donated to Purkul Youth Development Society, an NGO situated in the Himalayan foothills dedicated to enhancing the lives of underprivileged young people in the community. Pretty cool, right? That’s why, we at The Adhikari Blog have started this project called “Project Sahyog – Shopping for a Cause” for raising at least ₹50,000/- in Phase 1 to help PYDS keep up with the work they are doing. It costs PYDS ₹10,000 a day to feed 4 meals to 350 kids in their organisation – that’s 1400 meals a day. With ₹50,000, we can sponsor a massive 7,000 meals for these kids.

Breakfast at 7.30AM at PYDS

Fruits at 11AM

Lunch at 2PM

Evening Snacks at 4PM

FAQs

What exactly is the money used for?

After analyzing the needs and requirements of PYDS and to ensure the best possible use of the funds raised, we have decided to sponsor PYDS’s ‘Fund a Meal’ Programme. PYDS runs a 10-hour day care facility and provides all their students with 4 meals every working day – breakfast at 7.30 AM, a fruit at 11 AM, lunch at 2PM and an evening snack at 4PM. They run their Mess with their own cooks and do not use contractors. It is made sure that the food served is optimal in terms of the food value and quantity served.

How much do you exactly earn if I make a purchase?

We earn different commission amounts depending upon the type of products. Find below the commission structure for different types of products. For example, if you’re buying shoes worth ₹4k, then we get 12% of that, which is ₹480, all of which is your proud contribution. Pretty cool, right?

Does the money directly goes to PYDS’s account?

No, since we have registered with Amazon and Flipkart for the affiliate partnership, the money comes to our account first and is then given to PYDS.

When do you give the money to PYDS?

The project target is ₹50,000 in Phase 1. After we raise the first ₹10,000, we’ll donate the money to PYDS and continue to do so after every ₹10,000 mark. So we will be donating the money in 5 phases. The transfer of money will be posted on the blog and the Facebook page, so watch out for the space.

Why do you only have Amazon and Flipkart listed? Why not the other e-commerce websites?

Our experience with Amazon and Flipkart has been the best, without any complications. Their tracking system never fails unlike a few others and we’re sure no matter what purchase you make, we receive the commission amount. Also, Amazon and Flipkart too believe in the concept of donation and they supports a noble initiative like this.

I had made a purchase but my name hasn’t been added in the list of contributors. Why’s that?

Make sure you have filled out the form in STEP 2 after making the purchase. Also, only after your order is dispatched from Amazon or Flipkart does it appear in our affiliate account. If more than a day has passed after your order was dispatched and you still don’t see your name here, there is a chance that the order could have been marked as “disqualified” for the affiliate commission. There are a variety of reasons that’s possible. Some of the most common ones are –

You did not purchase the product in one single session after clicking the Amazon or Flipkart link.

Before visiting this page through our links, you had already added the product in your cart.

There can be a few more reasons for this happening. In case you feel you had done everything right, please write to us at rahul@theadhikariblog.com and we’ll be happy to resolve the issue.
